I'm Alive.

In Germany safe and sound. Time with feorran is great. I still can't get over how wonderful the landscape is here, and it's wildlife. The city wildlife is interesting, too. I even saw a brown rat chilling up close on someone's front walkway. Very neat.

Spending lots of time reading, relaxing, and engaging in philosophical, social and political commentary with feorran. He also introduced me to this goofy anime cartoon called Hetalia. Heh, normally anime really isn't my thing, but given that it employs political and historical contexts in a sort of slapstic environment...and the fact that I actually have free time on my hands, I figured why not. Needless to say I would like the hours of my life back I spent watching that goofy damn thing. Also, gradually, learning my German. Being immersed in the language really helps, but there are times where I still feel pretty stupid. Hah. I'm sure that'll pass with practice, though.

Oh yes--I will not be getting to my emails or messages for another few weeks. Sorry guys. I know some people have written, but I just have no time right now, this is a rare moment I'm updating and I'm not sure when I'll be online again. Same with cell phone calls and messages. People have left me messages--mostly work-type folk, even after I told them I wouldn't be responding until I get home, unless its an emergency. I've even received art commission requests from people I've notified of my absence, and who are urgently awaiting a response from me apparently. I am a bit annoyed with people's inability to respect my personal space, but oh well. At least people like my art-crap enough to pester me about it!

Tango is doing well. He still has four more treatments to go. My father has reported a pickup in his appetite and activity levels. This is a very good sign.

Anyway, hope everyone is doing well.

*humps your leg* Is that enough personal space respect?

*hugs* I'm glad you boys are having fun in the Germany. I am decidedly jealous of all my far flung traveling friends. ^_^ Tell the Germans I say hi. Oh you might want to run afterward there was this thing... back in the day... and well yeah run ^_~
